Well its the 14th! That means that the Papertrey Ink Release party is tonight!
So I have more projects to share using the NEWEST! My Timeless Templates © Home Made © and Time for Take Out ©
Sadly I’m still as sick as ever, so I need to brief. I have all I can do to keep my head up. I felt so bad since yesterday was Noah’s birthday and I wasn’t able to get out of bed for very long. Needless to say we did NOT make it to the movies. He did have a scavenger hunt for his gifts, and decided to spend his day playing with all his new stuff! I don’t think he even noticed my absence. We will save the movie for when we are ALL healthy. I don’t want to pass whatever I have on to ANYONE else.
OK now let’s get to the projects!
Home Made © Twas the Night Before Christmas
and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stocking were hung, by the chimney with care (he sits nicely on the roof, or can come off!)
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there! (back of house)
That is my version of the ‘Twas Night Before Christmas!
I had some light garland from my PSF (Bonnie – I think! If I remember correctly OR it was my other PSF Barb!) and used to to decorate my Home Made © template. How perfect it was! I scored the boards on the house. Added some snow, and it was just about ready!
Then I KNEW I had to add Santa and his sleigh
My Santa is from Holiday Button Bits. I used my iTopp to create his brad belly! I love it!! His beard and hat are fun flocked too. I used my Cricut Expression to create my sleigh. I made mine 3D! I then wrapped a cotton ball with gold tissue paper for his sack. The list is one of the signature background basics, cut and rolled into a real life “naughty/nice list”.
Supplies:
My Timeless Template: Home Made, Holiday Button Bits
Stamps: Home Made, Holiday Button Bits
Cardstock: Pure Poppy, Smokey Shadow, White
Ink:Black & copic markers
Christmas light ribbon, sleigh cartridge from cricut, i topp, brad, glue, chunky glitter, silver cording, white fun flock
Autumn Delights
Here is another set using the NEW! Time for Take Out © I hope this template isn’t get overshadowed by the AMAZING Home Made © template, because it is PURE fun!
I love creating with the standard and pretty petite sizes. Now you have lots of options for what you want to package up.
I’m in love with the Autumn Abundance patterned paper. Its stunning all by itself!
All I did was add a paper punched flower to the top. Some leaves from Prima, and some jeweled ones too.
This is the fold in flap detail. Really pretty, with lots of possibilities!
Nothing is better than a box of chocolate! One of my FAVES!
My Timeless Template: Time for Take Out
Cardstock: Summer Sunrise, Orange Zest
Patterned paper:Autumn Abundance
ribbon: orange zest bitty dots
flower punches, adhesive rhinestones
Well that does it for me. I need to get back to bed and recover while Jay is home to care for the kids.

What a beautiful Christmas Home Made. I had those little lights and dummy me, let the granddaughters play with them. I hope I can find them again. It sure would make a nice Christmas display.
Hope you are feeling better soon. Thank you for all your beautiful templates.
What great masterpieces! Thanks for sharing
Cuuute templates Lauren! You must dream up these amazing templates when you are fast asleep! I can’t get over that lil’ paper house! It looks like it is made out of kids blocks/Lincoln Logs! So creative to add those lil’ lights! Awesome Time for Take Out box! I can see this filled with yummy treats for any holiday/occasion! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

Lovely take on “Twas the night…”
I really like the Take Away box – it’s so fresh.
It’s 7.33am here in England and I’m just about to catch a train to london for 5 days – I can’t believe I’m going to miss the launch – I’m going to have to search for an internet cafe so I can keep up with all the goodies!
Best wishes.
Love this template and you make me want it so much more with all your brilliant examples…hope you feel better soon.
Wow! Such cute projects! I have a feeling that I will now be experimenting and creating with a few of your “Timeless Templates” starting with the Home Made and Take-Out ones. You are so creative, Lauren!
WOW! These projects are both awesome!
Feel better soon Lauren. Love the project. Really sweet for someone who decorates their house for the holidays or someone with kids. I can’t wait to get this template and get to work on my christmas presents.
Love those lights and Santas sleigh – fantastic project!
oh no! I’m so sorry you’re sick! But your projects are adorable as always!
Gorgeous Christmas House!!!
Oh Lauren, I hope you get well really soon! I adore your Night Before Christmas box! It’s just too fun and precious!
Hope you feel better soon. Thanks for posting these wonderful projects even when feeling so poorly. Home Made is at the top of my list for purchase at tonight’s release. Take care.
Lauren you are killin’ me here with all this FABULOUSNESS – what a rockin’ awesome santa, sleigh and house – AND oh yeah – I like the other template, too. Carry on our Queen!
Lauren,
First of all let me tell you how sorry I am to hear that you are sick. Here is my prayer for you at this time, but will continue to pray
Lord Jesus,
We thank you for Lauren and her creativity and love for all for her dear family and the joy she brings. Lord we know that you are the great physician so right now we ask a healing in Lauren, may she be healed form the top of her head to the soles of her feet and may all the glory and honoe be given to you dear Lord.
In Jesus name,
Amen
Second love the house and Santa and all the wonderful things you do.
God Bless
gorgeous as always. you impress me every time
GIRL! OMG…your Santa is extra perfect with that BIG round belly you made. Complete with his belt and the white “fur” at the bottom! Oh, and that sleigh! Good gracious, girl! That thing is awesome and just the perfect size for your Santa and your house. Who thinks of this stuff?! Lauren Meader, that’s who! Love your house! So cute…
Also love your My Time for Take Out projects! Those flowers are GORGEOUS, and you just can’t go wrong with that paper! It’s so pretty… I don’t think it’s being overshadowed. You’re doing a great job of promoting both!
Hope you get lots of rest today. Feel better soon, my friend.

Ready for deliveries…so cute and your chocolate delivery is warm and happy!
Lauren, years ago when I first started “stalking” your blog I emailed you and told you you would become a star in your own right. This newest template proves that. I have not bought a template as of yet but this will be my first. It is so incredible and truly and year long gift to give out. So great, you are so talented. Also all the ladies did great job of their individual houses–so cute.
This is so wonderful I can’t wait to make one! You have outdone yourself with this fantastic template set!
Barbara Diane
Both of these templates are adorable. You make such beautiful templates and projects. I hope you feel better soon.
So sorry you’re so sick! Wish I could sent YOU a getwell card, but this (((((hug)))))) will have to do!
Your Santa and sleigh are SO adorable! Santa’s bag of goodies, with his LIST – you are so absolutely amazing – truly!
I think you’ve pushed me over the edge, and I’ll just have to make one of these houses for my granddaughter this Christmas! Thanks so much, Lauren, for sharing your wonderful, imaginatative (is that a word?) creativity! YOU ROCK!
Hope you feel better soon!!
These projects are stinkin’ gorgeous!
I have those lights and have been hoarding them for the right project… I think I found it!!
I love the details you put into every project you do, thanks for sharing!
Love the little house and the box is toooo cute!
You’re amazing Lauren.. How do you come up with those great ideas?? Thanks 4 sharing!
Hugs.
I love your Santa and sleigh up on the housetop! So adorable! What a great idea for a table-scape! Amazing as always. Hope you are feeling better, woman! EAT.CHICKEN.SOUP.
Surely, Lauren, you didn’t do this while you were sick!!!! Tell me that these were just ready to post! If not…….well, let me say……I wish I had one of THOSE days of creativity up my sleeve.
Love the house and Santa. Soooo cute!! Love the other, too, but I think Santa gets it hands down!
Sure hope you are feeling better now!!!!!!
OMG Santa and his sleigh are just too darn cute for words! LOVE it!
Hope you are taking care of yourself! “HUGS” from the midwest.
Your Home Made houses are spectacular! Works of ART. It is going to be so much fun playing with the possibilities with this new template and stamp set. I think my first project will be a bird house filled with bird seed for a special friend who has backyard feeders. Won’t she be surprised?
Load up on love and soup….GET WELL SOON!
Oh, I just love both of the boxes!! Hope you get to feeling better, girl!!
Oh my, Lauren, these houses are amazing. I am lovin the Santa on the roof of your Christmas house! I am so gonna CASE this~too darn cute! :o)
Cute! Cute! Cute! What better than Santa on the rooftop at this time of year! Your gift box makes me think of oranges and tangerines – very pretty!
Wishing you good health. Don’t know how you can continue to surprise us with these goodies when you feel so awful. Do get some rest. We will wait on you.
It amazes me how you keep coming up with these fantastic templates, even when you’re not feeling well. Hope you can get some rest and feel better soon.
Poor you – sending some Cyper-chicken soup….. And poor Noah – but even mum’s can get sick. Hope he enjoyed his new toys – sounds like it. This house it STINKING cute – IF you see this message – please share what you use as snow – not sure where to find that stuff here in Denmark.
All the best
Lauren, I just went to order the stamp set for your template and the shipping was going to be 19.50. I just sent off a set like this to the US and it was only 2.11. This is total robbery. I am so dissappointed in PTI and their shipping policies for us non US customers. I would have loved to have your template but without the windows and doors it would be useless to me.
Keep on creating I still love to check out your blog everyday.
I love the Take Out template box – how do you cut out your half-circle so perfectly in the handle area?
I hope you are feeling better by now – yes? 🙁
